À Washington, le Congrès américain doit examiner ce jeudi la requête de Donald Trump, qui veut intégrer le Nigeria à la liste des pays « particulièrement préoccupants » en matière de liberté religieuse. Ce vote tombera 48 heures après l'attaque meurtrière d'une église de l'Ouest du pays pendant une messe retransmise en direct. Les chrétiens sont-ils vraiment persécutés au Nigeria ? Quelles seraient les conséquences d'un vote pro-Trump au Congrès ? Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos est directeur de recherches à l'IRD, l'Institut de Recherche pour le Développement. Il répond à Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos, est-ce que les chrétiens sont persécutés au Nigeria ?   Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos : Il peut y avoir certaines zones où il y a des discriminations contre les minorités. Donc en l'occurrence confessionnelles, ça peut être des mouvements évangéliques ou même des catholiques, notamment dans le Nord à dominante musulmane. Mais il faut voir qu'à l'inverse, les musulmans peuvent aussi être victimes de ces discriminations dans des régions à dominante chrétienne, plutôt dans le sud-est par exemple. Alors il y avait une attaque qui avait frappé les esprits. C'était le jour de Noël de l'année 2012. C'était dans la région d'Abuja, à Matala Zuba précisément. Un commando armé avait attaqué une église en pleine messe de Noël. Le prêtre et cinq fidèles avaient été tués. Oui, il y a quelquefois des églises qui sont prises pour cible, notamment par des groupes jihadistes comme la mouvance Boko Haram dans le nord-est, qui là, en l'occurrence, avait frappé plus dans la région centrale autour de la capitale fédérale. Il faut savoir que dans les nombreuses violences qui agitent le Nigeria, il y a également des mosquées qui sont prises pour cible et qui vont être brûlées, qui vont être attaquées, pas forcément d'ailleurs par des chrétiens. Souvent, les groupes jihadistes s'en prennent d'abord aux musulmans, et l'essentiel des victimes, par exemple de Boko Haram, ce sont des musulmans, rappelons-le, parce que c'est mathématique. Ils agissent dans une région qui est surtout peuplée de musulmans. Leurs victimes sont essentiellement civiles et parmi leurs victimes, il y a aussi effectivement des chrétiens qui peuvent être ciblés comme chrétiens. Alors tout de même, c'était le 16 novembre dernier à Rome, le pape Léon XIV s'est adressé à la foule place Saint-Pierre, en dénonçant les persécutions des chrétiens à travers le monde, notamment « au Bangladesh, au Nigeria, au Mozambique et au Soudan ». Oui, alors il y a un index qui sort sur les persécutions des chrétiens dans le monde et qui donc fait état d'homicides en arguant que ces personnes sont tuées non pas pour être dépouillées, volées de leur voiture ou de leur portefeuille, mais bien à cause de leur dénomination chrétienne. En réalité, il y a des chrétiens qui sont ciblés au Nigeria dans le cadre de conflits fonciers, notamment dans la ceinture centrale du Nigeria, qui voient des éleveurs musulmans s'opposer à des cultivateurs chrétiens. Et là, effectivement, les églises peuvent être des marqueurs identitaires. Donc, on va brûler un village, on va aussi s'en prendre à une église. Ça peut être aussi des lieux de refuge. Et donc effectivement, là, on voit aussi des ciblages autour de lieux de culte qui visent explicitement les chrétiens. Mais derrière, les dessous de ces conflits ne sont pas fondamentalement d'ordre confessionnel. Ce n'est pas sur la manière de prier ou de croire. Ce sont d'abord des conflits fonciers, des conflits politiques, sur le partage du pouvoir, sur la compétition pour les ressources. Et puis, ne l'oublions pas, au Nigeria, plus de 200 millions d'habitants, il y a une pression démographique qui s'accroît. Et donc, dans certains cas, on voit que ces conflits fonciers opposent des chrétiens aux musulmans. Que pensez-vous de Donald Trump qui accuse le président Bola Tinubu de tolérer les meurtres de chrétiens par des terroristes islamistes ? Oui, alors le point important, c'est qu'il n'accuse pas le gouvernement de commettre le génocide lui-même mais de laisser faire. Donc effectivement, il y a un gros problème au niveau de l'appareil coercitif du Nigeria avec une police qui, disons, ne performe pas, qui n'est pas professionnelle, qui tue énormément aussi beaucoup de civils. La même chose pour l'armée. Il se trouve qu'en plus il y a une configuration en ce moment politique au Nigeria qui fait que le président est musulman et le vice-président est également musulman. Or, d'habitude, il y a une règle non-écrite, ce n'est pas une règle constitutionnelle, mais qui veut que si le président est musulman, son vice-président sera chrétien et inversement. Donc là, on a une configuration un peu particulière qui va donner du grain à moudre aussi sur tous ces lobbys évangéliques qui s'en prennent aux musulmans, à l'élite musulmane du nord qui est accusée de laisser faire les « terroristes peuls », puisque les éleveurs peuls sont tous rangés dans la catégorie des terroristes, ce qui tend à donner une dimension très ethnique à ces conflits, quoi qu'il en soit de leur aspect confessionnel. Aujourd'hui, cette croisade en faveur des chrétiens du Nigeria est renforcée par une superstar du rap américain, Nicki Minaj. Est-ce que cela ne pèse pas dans l'opinion publique américaine et dans le vote à venir du Congrès américain ce jeudi ? Alors, le fait qu'il y ait des stars du rap qui s'engagent effectivement dans cette campagne va évidemment jouer en faveur des lobbys évangéliques du Nigeria qui pressent le Congrès de mettre en place des sanctions économiques. Alors eux demandent des sanctions économiques, ils ne demandent pas une intervention militaire. Et de toute façon, même les leaders chrétiens du Nigeria se sont opposés à l'éventualité d'une intervention militaire américaine qui, dans tous les cas, est complètement improbable. C'est le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique. On ne voit pas très bien comment l'armée américaine pourrait intervenir dans un terrain plus que compliqué, puisque là, vous allez poster des soldats américains autour de chaque église de l'Etat du Plateau, dans le centre du pays. Ça n'a absolument aucun sens. À lire aussiLes propos de Trump sur le Nigeria sont «irresponsables et criminels», dit le prix Nobel Wole Soyinka

A new University of Oxford report finds a rapid switch to renewables could double energy-sector productivity in low-to-middle income economies within 25 years. In many countries, this would result in a GDP boost by mid-century of around 10%. "Opting for clean energy could be an economic boon for solar-rich countries such as Burundi, DR Congo and Mozambique," says Professor Sam Fankhauser, Interim Director of Oxford Smith School of Enterprise and the Environment. "For context, 10% of GDP is roughly the amount countries typically spend on public health. These productivity gains are unprecedented, and it could be the developing countries that benefit the most." The importance and benefits of a clean energy transition Renewable energy boosts productivity in two ways: more electricity is generated per dollar invested, with fewer losses (for example to heat) compared to fossil fuels, and renewable energy is cheaper - enabling households, businesses and industries to run for longer at lower cost. The report quantifies this gain over the next 25 years and finds that renewable energy productivity gains are much higher in the Global South, resulting in an important advantage in the growing net zero economy. Renewables could finally start to close the income gap between rich and poor countries, say the authors. The report, part of a three-year research programme funded by energy company SSE, also investigates how renewable energy investment has already boosted GDP in low and middle-income countries as compared to fossil fuels. Spending on renewables gets multiplied in the local economy much more than fossil fuels - along the supply chain and through local wages. The analysis shows that from 2017-2022 this has boosted the GDP of the 100 largest developing countries (excluding China) by a combined US$1.2 trillion - the equivalent of 2 to 5% of GDP for most nations. In COP30 host Brazil, renewable investments raised GDP by US$128 billion. However, the authors caution that the economic benefits of renewables do not automatically flow to host communities. Instead, deliberate benefit-sharing mechanisms such as community benefit funds and co-ownership are needed. The report concludes by emphasising the potential of distributed renewable energy for accessibility and inclusion. "The success of the renewable energy transition will depend not only on lower costs and higher productivity - both of which are now all but guaranteed - but on our collective ability to ensure that its benefits are fairly and widely shared, leaving no community behind," says Professor Fankhauser. Rhian Kelly, Chief Sustainability Officer at SSE, comments: "Meaningful consultation must sit at the heart of every approach to community engagement. The most successful models go well beyond minimum requirements, reflecting the priorities and context of local people. By sharing learnings, we can identify what works best - and ensure that dedicated community funds are transparent, flexible, truly responsive to local needs. In the UK and Ireland, these funds have already supported more than 12,000 projects. With clear policy frameworks - including minimum contribution thresholds and standardised benefit-sharing agreements - we can build on this success and deliver lasting benefits for communities."

Can hunting truly support conservation? Does fortress conservation offer a sustainable solution for protecting wildlife in the long term? And how do we balance the needs of impoverished communities with the preservation of fragile ecosystems? Our guest today is Mike Arnold, a Distinguished Research Professor and Head of the Department of Genetics at the University of Georgia and a lifelong hunter. Mike has published over 220 articles in outdoor magazines and hundreds of research papers on conservation biology. He's also the author of "Bringing Back the Wild: Stories from Revitalised Ecosystems Around the World and How Sport Hunting Supports Them". In our conversation, Mike tackles these difficult questions head-on, drawing from his experiences across the globe.Mike explains how private hunting concessions in places like Mozambique have maintained stable rhino populations whilst nearby national parks have lost over 90% of their animals to poaching. He shares fascinating insights from his travels to locations as varied as Mexico's Yucatan, Scotland's hunting estates, and Sweden's forests - including his quest for a rare red-coloured West African Savannah buffalo. What emerges is a nuanced picture of conservation that refuses easy answers. Mike discusses the biological realities of managing herbivore populations, the importance of protecting entire ecosystems rather than just game species, and how economic benefits to landowners create incentives for habitat protection.The conversation takes an honest look at challenges facing hunting and conservation. Mike and I discuss the troubling demographics of hunting organisations, where finding anyone under 50 is increasingly difficult. We explore the tensions between rewilding advocates and traditional land users, the concept of "fortress conservation", and whether current systems can survive long-term pressures from growing inequality. We argue that addressing poverty is essential for conservation success, and that getting young people engaged with nature, not TikTok and PlayStation, is crucial for the future. Whether you hunt or not, this episode offers valuable perspectives on one of conservation's most contentious subjects.Buy Mike's Book: https://amzn.to/3WLkFe2Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookThe guest featured in this episode paid a nominal guesting fee.

Explores forgotten solidarity with African liberation struggles through the life of Black Chicagoan Prexy Nesbitt. For many civil rights activists, the Vietnam War brought the dangers of US imperialism and the global nature of antiracist struggle into sharp relief. Martha Biondi tells the story of one such group of activists who built an internationalist movement in Chicago committed to liberation everywhere but especially to ending colonialism and apartheid in Africa. Among their leaders was Prexy Nesbitt. Steeped from an early age in stories of Garveyism and labor militancy, Nesbitt was powerfully influenced by his encounters with the exiled African radicals he met in Dar es Salaam, London, and across the United States. Operating domestically and abroad, Nesbitt's cohort worked closely with opponents of Portuguese and white minority rule in Mozambique, Angola, and South Africa. Rather than promoting a US conception of Black self-determination, they took ideas from African anticolonial leaders and injected them into US foreign policy debates. The biography of a man but even more so of a movement, We Are Internationalists: Prexy Nesbitt and the Fight for African Liberation (U California Press, 2025) reveals the underappreciated influence of a transformative Black solidarity project.

Sergio Carriel is a Brazilian missionary who has been serving in Africa for 19 years, starting in Mozambique and then expanding to other African countries like Malawi, Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Kenya. He has experienced many miracles and conversions during his evangelistic crusades in Africa, including healings and deliverance from demonic oppression. Carriel believes God is raising up a missionary force from Brazil to go to other nations, and he wants to inspire and encourage more Brazilian youth to become evangelists and missionaries. He has faced challenges in getting financial support from churches in Brazil, who often focus more on local needs rather than global missions. Carriel hopes to see the Brazilian church invest more in sending missionaries worldwide.

En première partie, les anciennes colonies portugaises célèbrent un demi-siècle d'indépendance. 5 pays sont concernés : l'Angola, le Cap-Vert, la Guinée-Bissau, le Mozambique et Sao Tomé-et-Principe... En deuxième partie, nous serons dans la région d'Agadir au Maroc, dans ce qu'on appelle parfois le grenier de l'Europe. Dans des champs immenses ou des serres gigantesques, y poussent fruits et légumes. Une particularité : ils sont récoltés en très grande partie par des migrants subsahariens. Portugal : les déracinés des indépendances africaines  5 pays africains : l'Angola, le Cap-Vert, la Guinée-Bissau, le Mozambique et São Tomé et Principe, commémorent cette année les 50 ans de leur indépendance. Les guerres coloniales se sont arrêtées avec la chute du régime autoritaire de Salazar en 74, et la révolution démocratique du 25 avril. Les guerres civiles et les soubresauts politiques des anciennes colonies poussent toujours hommes et femmes vers l'ancien pays colonisateur. Certains sont arrivés dans les années 70, d'autres bien plus tard, et d'autres encore sont nés au Portugal. Ils y vivent entre indépendance, intégration, nostalgie et conviction. Un Grand reportage de Marie-Line Darcy qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Le quotidien des migrants subsahariens au Maroc Au Maroc, la région d'Agadir dans le sud-ouest du pays, concentre une part importante des travailleurs migrants irréguliers. Ils seraient plus de 10 000, selon les ONG, parmi ces subsahariens entre 90 000 et 300 000, qui y font escale. Beaucoup d'autres poursuivent leur migration vers l'Europe. Ils se sont installés dans ce que certains surnomment le « potager de l'Europe » : 20 000 hectares de serres où fruits et légumes poussent toute l'année. Sans papiers, ils sont mal payés, travaillent dur et s'intègrent très difficilement. Même si des associations sont présentes.

fWotD Episode 3094: Red-billed quelea Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 24 October 2025, is Red-billed quelea.The red-billed quelea (; Quelea quelea), also known as the red-billed weaver or red-billed dioch, is a small, migratory, sparrow-like bird of the weaver family, Ploceidae, native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is approximately 12 cm (4.7 in) long and weighs 15 to 26 g (0.53 to 0.92 oz).It was named by Linnaeus in 1758, who considered it a bunting, but Ludwig Reichenbach assigned it in 1850 to the new genus Quelea. Three subspecies are recognised, with Q. q. quelea occurring roughly from Senegal to Chad, Q. q. aethiopica from Sudan to Somalia and Tanzania, and Q. q. lathamii from Gabon to Mozambique and South Africa. Non-breeding birds have light underparts, striped brown upper parts, yellow-edged flight feathers and a reddish bill. Breeding females attain a yellowish bill. Breeding males have a black (or rarely white) facial mask, surrounded by a purplish, pinkish, rusty or yellowish wash on the head and breast. The species avoids forests, deserts and colder areas such as those at high altitude and in southern South Africa. It constructs oval roofed nests woven from strips of grass hanging from thorny branches, sugar cane or reeds. It breeds in very large colonies.The red-billed quelea feeds primarily on seeds of annual grasses, but also causes extensive damage to cereal crops. Therefore, it is sometimes called "Africa's feathered locust". The usual pest-control measures are spraying avicides or detonating fire-bombs in the enormous colonies during the night. Extensive control measures have been largely unsuccessful in limiting the quelea population. When food runs out, the species migrates to locations of recent rainfall and plentiful grass seed; hence it exploits its food source very efficiently. It is regarded as the most numerous undomesticated bird on earth, with the total post-breeding population sometimes peaking at an estimated 1.5 billion individuals. It feeds in huge flocks of millions of individuals, with birds that run out of food at the rear flying over the entire group to a fresh feeding zone at the front, creating an image of a rolling cloud. The conservation status of red-billed quelea is least concern according to the IUCN Red List.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:05 UTC on Friday, 24 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Red-billed quelea on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 22nd of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Gospel of John 2:11: “This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.” Jesus turned the water into wine at the marriage feast in Cana, the first miracle. My dear friend, I want to say something to you. One genuine miracle equals a thousand sermons. I really believe it with all of my heart. Jesus was known by the miracles He performed, not one, but many. But the sad thing was, He performed very few miracles in His home town, Nazareth, because of the unbelief of the people. Jesus could perform very few. I want to tell you, it wasn't His sermons that convicted the people, it was the signs and wonders and miracles. Apart from the sermon on the mount, I don't know of too many other sermons that Jesus preached, but miracles, one after another, and I want to tell you that faith begets faith. Faith is contagious. When you see a miracle, it changes the whole situation. I remember many years ago, preaching right up in the northern part of Mozambique, a place called Montepuez. It was a huge meeting. The soccer field was full of people, but nothing was happening. No one was responding. I looked up and I saw there was a line of muslims right along the back of the soccer field. I could see them by the white caps they were wearing, and there was nothing happening. The Holy Spirit spoke to me almost audibly. He said, “Stop preaching. They are not listening. There is a man in the front row, (I looked down. I saw him. His leg was sticking out straight) “go and pray for him.” I went down off the platform. I did not know who he was but everybody else did know who he was. He was a woodcutter. That was what his trade was, and what had happened was, a tree had fallen on top of him and crushed his leg, and they had put a steel pin through his leg. I walked up to him, laid my hands upon him, prayed the prayer of faith, “In the name of Jesus Christ, the Miracle-worker”, asked him to stand up, we took the crutches away and he was totally healed. He was running back and forwards in front of the platform and the people went wild. I didn't have to make an altar call that day. They wanted to give their lives to Jesus before I had finished speaking, and the funny thing was too, amazingly, after the service, the muslim people came behind the big Seed Sower which I was preaching off, and they brought their sick children and their sick people for prayer. We prayed for the muslims for a long time after that service. One genuine miracle equals a thousand sermons!Jesus bless you and goodbye!

5 pays africains : l'Angola, le Cap-Vert, la Guinée-Bissau, le Mozambique et São Tomé et Principe, commémorent cette année les 50 ans de leur indépendance. Les guerres coloniales se sont arrêtées avec la chute du régime autoritaire de Salazar en 74, et la révolution démocratique du 25 avril. Les guerres civiles et les soubresauts politiques des anciennes colonies poussent toujours hommes et femmes vers l'ancien pays colonisateur. (Rediffusion) Certains sont arrivés dans les années 70, d'autres bien plus tard, et d'autres encore sont nés au Portugal. Ils y vivent entre indépendance, intégration, nostalgie et conviction. «Portugal : les déracinés des indépendances africaines», un Grand reportage de Marie-Line Darcy.

Eat or Be Eaten by Dr Rick Bein Rickbein.com https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Be-Eaten-Rick-Bein/dp/1963718011 The issue of food can be interpreted in two ways. As a geographical agriculturist, I have focused on food production around the world, but also on being faced with predatory action. These stories relate such events in my life. Some are humorous and some are educational. my Peace Corps experience provided the spark that led to this series of adventures and observations. Farming strategies vary tremendously around the world, from my home farm in Colorado to those in Brazil, Sudan, Papua New Guinea, Mozambique. The picture depicts a Sudanese feast, where various food items are laid on an outstretched tablecloth on the ground to serve men dressed in formal attire. Only the men are eating and when they are sated the women come to eat what is left over. Notice the only the right hands are touching the food. The left hand is considered foul and would contaminate the food.

Do you live in a way that maximizes your well-being? Chances are, the answer to that question is no. Our modern way of living, some suggest, is incompatible with a thriving lifestyle. While the notion that many factors impact our overall health and wellness is not necessarily far-fetched, you may be surprised by the argument that some of the strongest factors are relational — both with one another and with the earth. Family Physician and public health professor Dr. Wendy Johnson explores this concept in her newest book, Kinship Medicine: Cultivating Interdependence to Heal the Earth and Ourselves. Johnson asserts that the solution to many of the causal factors of poor health — loneliness, industrial diets, systemic inequality, profit-based healthcare — are about humanity's interconnectedness to people and planet. Examples in Kinship Medicine include information on how trauma can be passed down for generation and how eliminating one organism in an ecosystem can affect all others. Her work also posits that our relationship to non-human life is essential to our well-being, and community action is stronger than individual efforts. With examples from public health, sociology, anthropology, human ecology, and her experience as a doctor, Dr. Johnson advocates for a shift in society that could lead to a healthier future. Wendy Johnson is a family physician, public health professor, activist and writer who has spent her life advocating for a world where everyone can live long lives in equitable communities. Her career includes stints scaling up HIV treatment in Mozambique, overseeing an urban health department, and most recently, directing a community clinic in Santa Fe. She has a Master of Public Health from Johns Hopkins and holds faculty appointments at the University of Washington and the University of New Mexico. She currently practices family and addiction medicine in rural Northern New Mexico with El Centro Family Health. Dr. Johnson has been a vocal activist on many progressive issues locally and globally and is a two-time TEDx speaker. Tessa Hulls is an artist, writer, and adventurer who is equally likely to disappear into the backcountry or a research library. Her debut graphic memoir, Feeding Ghosts, received the National Book Critics Circle John Leonard Prize, the Libby Book Award, and the Anisfield-Wolf Award, and was a finalist for the Kirkus Prize and the Pacific Northwest Book Award, and nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. She's pivoting her career to fuse her two great loves of creativity and the wilderness by becoming a comics journalist working with field scientists studying ecological resilience and climate change in remote environments, and she would love to hear from you if you want to partner with her on this endeavor.

Après des années d'expérience sur le terrain dans la conservation des grands mammifères africains, le scientifique sud-africain Luthando Dziba a pris le 1er octobre 2025 les rênes de la Plateforme intergouvernementale sur la biodiversité et les services écosystémiques (Ipbes). Souvent surnommé le « Giec de la biodiversité », cette instance scientifique et politique mondiale – près de 150 pays en sont membres - fait référence pour guider les politiques de préservation de la nature à partir des travaux de milliers de chercheurs. Pour la première fois, un scientifique africain en prend la tête. Pour sa première interview depuis sa prise de fonction, il est au micro de Lucile Gimberg, du service environnement de RFI. RFI : Vous êtes le premier scientifique africain à diriger la plateforme scientifique et intergouvernementale sur la biodiversité, l'Ipbes. C'est l'équivalent du Giec pour la biodiversité. Qu'est-ce que cela signifie pour vous et pour le continent ? Quels sujets allez-vous portez ? Luthando Dziba : L'Ipbes est vraiment LA plateforme de politique scientifique la plus fiable pour fournir des informations sur la biodiversité aux décideurs. C'est donc un immense privilège pour moi d'avoir été invité à diriger l'Ipbes. Ce que j'apporte, je pense, ce sont de nombreuses années d'expérience dans le secteur de la conservation de la nature en Afrique. Une expérience très pratique, de gestion des défis sociaux et écologiques sur le continent. Et je pense que cette perspective africaine unique sera extrêmement bénéfique. Je crois aussi que ma contribution et ma présence à ce poste aideront à inspirer une génération de scientifiques africains à contribuer non seulement à la politique scientifique de leurs pays, mais aussi à se penser et à se voir comme des contributeurs au niveau mondial.  Les scientifiques africains sont-ils aujourd'hui bien représentés au sein de la communauté internationale en matière de biodiversité ? Donne-t-on assez d'importance aux savoirs africains aujourd'hui ? On a beaucoup œuvré pour améliorer la représentation des scientifiques des régions sous-représentées à l'Ipbes… comme l'Afrique, l'Europe de l'Est et parfois l'Amérique latine qui sont sous-représentées dans la communauté scientifique. Je pense que le point de départ pour l'Ipbes c'est vraiment de servir de plateforme à des voix très diverses, aux savoirs locaux et autochtones notamment, et à d'autres systèmes de connaissances. À lire aussiL'ONU donne son feu vert pour un Giec de la biodiversité Et puis nous ne voulons pas seulement nous concentrer sur la science de la biodiversité, nous voulons faire de la place aux sciences sociales pour avoir une vision beaucoup plus complète dans notre travail.  Quelles sont les spécificités de la biodiversité africaine ? On pense souvent aux grands mammifères du continent comme les éléphants, les lions ou encore les rhinocéros, mais la nature africaine est riche de bien plus que cela, non ? Tout à fait, et notre rapport sur la biodiversité en Afrique en 2018 a montré le caractère unique de cet assemblage de grands mammifères. Ce qui est parfois moins connu ou valorisé, c'est le fait que la biodiversité africaine a co-évolué avec les humains. Il y a beaucoup d'exemples sur le continent, mais je pense aux savanes boisées du Miombo. Ces forêts tropicales sèches traversent tout le continent, de l'Angola, sur la côte ouest, jusqu'à la Tanzanie, le Mozambique sur la côte est, et l'Afrique australe. Les arbres Miombo se sont adaptés et quand on les exploite, ils repoussent. Ils peuvent survivre à des années d'exploitation de la part des populations tant qu'elles en font un usage durable… c'est-à-dire tant qu'elles ne détruisent pas des arbres entiers ou des groupes d'arbres entiers. C'est assez unique !  Un peu partout dans le monde, les peuples autochtones et traditionnels sont montrés en exemple pour leur capacité à préserver la nature, les animaux, les sols, les arbres… Auriez-vous en tête des exemples en Afrique de ces pratiques bénéfiques pour la biodiversité ? Je pense à la façon dont les communautés ont répondu à la bilharziose dans les zones rurales du Sénégal. Au lieu de juste traiter cette maladie parasitaire, ils ont mis en place des actions qui avaient un effet combiné sur la sécurité alimentaire, la qualité de l'eau et leur santé. Concrètement, en retirant des espèces invasives des cours d'eau où proliféraient les parasites et les mollusques qui transmettent cette maladie, ces communautés ont réduit les taux d'infection des jeunes jusqu'à 32 %, ils ont amélioré la qualité de l'eau, mais aussi les revenus des familles rurales. Il existe des façons d'agir que nous apprenons en nous appuyant sur les communautés autochtones et locales, des façons de gérer les systèmes naturels pour qu'ils perdurent. Nous experts, nous pouvons apprendre de ces années, parfois millions d'années, où les gens ont su comment vivre avec la nature.  À lire aussiL'IPBES, «Giec de la biodiversité», prône des réponses globales et décloisonnées aux crises

Policy Seminar | IFPRI Policy Seminar Tackling extreme poverty and financing for food systems in Africa Organized by IFPRI and partners on the margins of the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings October 17, 2025 Join speakers from IFPRI, IFAD, UNU-WIDER and the World Bank for a high-level seminar exploring two major African priorities – poverty reduction and food systems transformation in sub-Saharan Africa. Speakers will highlight the need to make progress on reducing poverty in fragile and conflict-affected areas across the continent, and the need to examine how most effectively to finance food systems amidst declining external funding flows. An inaugural World Bank- UNU-WIDER report on poverty and fragility, being previewed at this seminar, indicates that Sub-Saharan Africa has become the epicenter of the poverty–fragility nexus, with some 70% of people in fragile and conflict affected areas now living in the region and half of the world's extreme poor projected to reside in fragile SSA states by 2030. The Africa Report on External Development Financial Flows to Food Systems, recently released by IFAD, AKADEMIYA2063, and IFPRI—analyzes the volume and composition of development finance directed toward African food systems, and implications of decreasing external flows, also for national financing strategies. This timely discussion will spotlight urgent financing needs and policy pathways to reduce poverty in the most vulnerable regions of Africa and strengthen food systems across the continent. It will also underscore the critical role of robust evidence and data-driven analysis in guiding effective financing strategies and policies —particularly as governments and development partners confront the dual pressures rising fragility and declining external flows. By grounding decisions in rigorous research, stakeholders can better align resources with impact and chart more resilient, equitable paths forward.

This episode of our Resisting Empire series tells the story of Eduardo Mondlane: scholar, activist, and founding president of Mozambique's liberation movement, FRELIMO. Born under Portuguese rule, Mondlane's early encounters with colonial oppression shaped his lifelong beliefs. He used every opportunity to challenge the systems of empire that sought to define him. As FRELIMO's leader, Mondlane blended intellect with strategy, urging that true freedom meant building a fair and inclusive society. His assassination in 1969 cut short his vision, but his words, a luta continua “the struggle continues” became a rallying cry for Mozambique's fight for independence and for liberation movements across Africa. https://culturecustodian.com SOURCES: Africa Today Vol. 26, No. 1 (1st Qtr., 1979), pp. 19-24 (6 pages)Published By: Indiana University Press Review of African Political Economy, Vol. 32, No. 104/105, Oiling the Wheels of Imperialism (Jun. - Sep., 2005), pp. 309-315 FRELIMO (Britannica article) Sansone, L.  (2023, December 13).

Send us a textIn this episode of Street Life, Mark and John had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah Simon, a talented street photographer who shared her unique journey into photography. Sarah's story is deeply personal, rooted in her experiences of loss, illness, and self-discovery. After the passing of her father in 2020, amidst the challenges of a divorce and health issues, she picked up a camera as a form of therapy and creative expression.Sarah discussed how her upbringing in Queens, New York, influenced her perspective and photography style. She emphasised the importance of intuition in her work, often allowing her gut feelings to guide her in capturing the chaotic beauty of the streets. Despite only being in the photography scene for a few years, her work reflects a maturity and depth that belies her experience.We explored her approach to shooting, which often involves a spontaneous and instinctual process rather than meticulous planning. Sarah also touched on her struggles with Lyme disease, which has impacted her ability to shoot frequently, yet she finds a sense of urgency and purpose in her photography during her healthier moments.Throughout our conversation, Sarah highlighted the significance of community, particularly her initiative to create a space for women street photographers. She shared her admiration for other photographers, including Daido Moriyama, whose work validated her own artistic journey.As we wrapped up, Sarah expressed her desire to leave behind a body of work that invites others to explore their own inner worlds and the beauty of life's complexities. We also discussed her future projects, including a collaborative art book with a poet, and her aspirations to travel and shoot in new locations, particularly in Mozambique.This episode is a testament to the power of photography as a means of self-exploration and connection, and we are excited to see where Sarah's journey takes her next.

It's Monday, October 6, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims decapitated or shot 30 Christians in Mozambique, Africa Over 30 Christians were beheaded in a series of recent attacks in northern Mozambique, Africa by Islamic State-affiliated terrorists who also released graphic photographs showing the executions, shootings, and widespread arson, reports The Christian Post. The group targeted multiple villages across Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces, setting fire to churches and homes in a campaign of violence against civilians. According to The Middle East Media Research Institute, the Islamic State Mozambique group released a 20-image photoset this week, documenting its operatives executing civilians by beheading and close-range gunfire, and burning down homes and churches. The Mozambican insurgency, active since 2017, has led to the deaths of at least 6,200 people. In Deuteronomy 32:35, God says, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time, their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near, and their doom rushes upon them.” The United Nations estimates that more than 1 million people in northern Mozambique have been displaced since the conflict began, due to a combination of militant violence, prolonged drought and extreme weather events. Open Doors ranks Mozambique, Africa as the 37th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Nigerian Muslims killed kidnapped pastor after receiving ransom Armed Muslim groups in Kwara State, Nigeria killed a local pastor after abducting him and receiving ransom payments from his community, reports International Christian Concern. Rev. James Issa, a pastor with the Evangelical Church Winning All, was taken from Ekati village on August 28.  His abductors initially demanded $67,000. Weeks of negotiations followed, with family members, church leaders, and villagers contributing funds to secure his release.  The community raised $3,300, a sum far beyond the means of the rural community. The money was delivered to the kidnappers, but instead of releasing the pastor, the armed group demanded an additional $30,000. Before any further talks could take place, they killed Rev. Issa.  Netanyahu demands release of all 48 hostages in order to end war On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no part of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan will be enacted until all 48 hostages, alive and dead, are returned to Israeli territory, reports The Jerusalem Post. Additionally, Netanyahu stated that if the hostages are not released by Trump's deadline, "Israel will resume fighting with full backing from all involved countries." However, speaking to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, President Trump told Netanyahu, “Bibi, this is your chance for victory.”  Currently, there is no set deadline for the hostage release, although negotiations to finalize the plan are set to begin in Cairo, Egypt today. An anonymous source told the Jerusalem Post that (a) Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group, is committed to reaching an agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip and (b) the release of the hostages will be carried out gradually over several days through the International Red Cross. Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared on NBC's “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker. WELKER: “I want to start with these peace negotiations in the Middle East. Is this now the end of the war in Gaza?” RUBIO: “Well, not yet. There's some work remains to be done, and I would view it in two phases, in terms of understanding how to break this out. “The first piece of it, which is very clear from the letter in Hamas' response, is they have agreed to the President's hostage release framework. And what needs to happen now, and they acknowledge in the letter in their response, is there now needs to be meetings which are occurring, even as I speak to you now, and hopefully will be finalized very quickly on the logistics of that. “What that means is, who goes in to get them? Is it the Red Cross? You know, when do they show up? What place are they going to be? And the conditions have to be created for that to happen. You can't have bombs going off and fighting going on in the middle of this exchange. So, that's piece one. And we want to see that happen as soon as possible, all 48 hostages, both living and deceased. “The second part of it, it's even harder, and that is the long term piece. What happens after Israel pulls back to the yellow line, and potentially beyond that, as this thing develops? How do you create this Palestinian technocratic leadership that's not Hamas, that's not terrorists, and with the help of the international community? “How do you disarm any sort of terrorist groups that are going to be building tunnels and conducting attacks against Israel? How do you get them to demobilize? All that work -- that's going to be hard. But that's critical, because without that, you're not going to have lasting peace. You may get the hostages back, you may get a cessation of hostilities, but in the long term, it's going to happen all over again.” Hero Ukrainian soldier kills 27 Russian troops A heroic Ukrainian warrior killed 27 Russian soldiers singlehandedly while defending two bridges surrounded by enemy forces, reports The U.S. Sun. Rus spent over seven weeks crouched in a putrid-smelling basement protecting the crossings -- armed with nothing more than a firearm and pure grit. The valiant soldier has been recommended for the Hero of Ukraine medal, the country's highest military honor, for his brave work. He personally killed 27 Kremlin forces - steadfast in his defense of the crossings in Dopropilia, in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Speaking to The Times, he recalled the grim reality of spending almost two months taking cover in a gloomy basement as Russian drones buzzed overhead.  He could only use the toilet "at dusk or at dawn" over fears of being struck and for seven weeks only washed with baby wipes. First-ever woman becomes Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally has been chosen as the new Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, marking the first time a woman has been named to the highest ecclesiastical position in the Anglican Church, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In 1 Timothy 2:12, the Apostle Paul wrote, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” The seat of the archbishop of Canterbury had been vacant since January 7, 2025, when Archbishop Justin Welby resigned due to allegations of mishandling an abuse case involving John Smyth who beat Winchester Boarding School students until they bled, leaving permanent scars. MarketWatch: 22 states already in recession And finally, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, the U.S. economy is very close to falling into a damaging contraction. Many states are already experiencing a recession. Zandi estimates that 22 states, plus the District of Columbia, are now experiencing persistent economic weakness and job losses that are likely to continue. Another 13 states are treading water. The overall picture is one of a weak U.S. economy that is vulnerable to being pushed into a ditch by a strong wind. The economist added, “The economy is still not in recession, but the risks are very high. We're on the precipice.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 6th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

#181 - Christian Ray Flores' life reads like an epic novel - a childhood marked by upheaval across continents, an improbable rise to pop stardom in Russia, and a profound transformation into a purposeful coach helping others discover their untapped potential.Growing up amid political chaos, Christian experienced firsthand what most of us only read about in history books. By age seven, he had lived through a military coup in Chile that landed his father in a concentration camp, experienced refugee life under UN protection, and witnessed civil war in Mozambique. The constant relocations forced him to absorb four languages by age nine, unwittingly preparing him for a life bridging different worlds and perspectives.When the Soviet Union collapsed around him just as he completed his economics degree, Christian made the unconventional choice to pursue music instead of academia. His gamble paid off spectacularly. Within years, he was performing in sports arenas across 15 countries, selling millions of albums, and even creating the campaign anthem for Boris Yeltsin's pivotal election against communist forces. Yet at the pinnacle of success, he found himself clinically depressed - a paradox that would later inform his coaching philosophy.The turning point came through spiritual transformation and marriage to an American woman who saw past his celebrity to the person beneath. After transitioning to life in America, Christian discovered his calling as a coach for high-achievers who, like his former self, might appear successful on paper while feeling incomplete or imbalanced within.His unique approach helps clients recognize when they're "fighting with one hand tied behind their back" - achieving impressive results while leaving their most powerful gifts dormant. Through his Exponential Life coaching program, he helps entrepreneurs, executives, and creatives untie that second hand and experience breakthrough performance aligned with their deepest purpose.What makes Christian's perspective so valuable is that he's lived at both extremes - from refugee facilities to celebrity mansions, from communist oppression to American opportunity. This journey fueled his book "Little Book of Big Reasons to Love America," which offers a refreshing immigrant perspective on American possibility in an age of cynicism.Want to discover what might be dormant in your own life?

This open access book is about Mozambicans and Angolans who migrated in state-sponsored schemes to East Germany in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. They went to work and to be trained as a vanguard labor force for the intended African industrial revolutions. While they were there, they contributed their labor power to the East German economy. This book draws on more than 260 life history interviews and uncovers complex and contradictory experiences and transnational encounters. What emerges is a series of dualities that exist side by side in the memories of the former migrants: the state and the individual, work and consumption, integration and exclusion, loss and gain, and the past in the past and the past in the present and future. By uncovering these dualities, the book explores the lives of African migrants moving between the Third and Second worlds.

This open access book is about Mozambicans and Angolans who migrated in state-sponsored schemes to East Germany in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. They went to work and to be trained as a vanguard labor force for the intended African industrial revolutions. While they were there, they contributed their labor power to the East German economy. This book draws on more than 260 life history interviews and uncovers complex and contradictory experiences and transnational encounters. What emerges is a series of dualities that exist side by side in the memories of the former migrants: the state and the individual, work and consumption, integration and exclusion, loss and gain, and the past in the past and the past in the present and future. By uncovering these dualities, the book explores the lives of African migrants moving between the Third and Second worlds.

Against efficiency and isolation: learning humility from forgotten communities and the ancient art of the Georgian feastJohn Heers, founder of First Things Foundation, joins Ashley to discuss his unconventional approach to international development—sending people to live humbly in forgotten communities from Mozambique to Guatemala, learning local languages, and facilitating indigenous entrepreneurship rather than imposing Western solutions.The conversation weaves through the tyranny of "spreadsheet brain," the spiritual necessity of smallness over ego, and why efficiency isn't a virtue in itself. John introduces the Georgian supra—a traditional dinner built around ritualized toasting that creates communion without demanding psychological intimacy—and explains how this ancient social technology is resonating with Americans hungry for something beyond transactional relationships.John and Ashley explore how face-to-face gathering, shared meals, and acknowledging life's difficult realities (including death and sin) are essential acts of resistance against a machine culture that wants us isolated, autonomous, and always online.John and Ashley will be hosting a Georgian supra together at the next Doomer Optimism gathering in Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee, February 13-14, 2025. We hope that you're able to join us!

RAMO Earth's Matthew Jordan joins the NatureBacked podcast to discuss the mission behind his platform, NatureOS—an operating system designed to enable nature-based solutions and help conservation projects thrive. In a voluntary carbon market that is often described as "fragmented" and "confused," Matthew shares his journey from hands-on conservation work in Mozambique to building technological tools that bridge the gap between dreamers and dollars. In this essential discussion, you will hear about: The Wild West Carbon Market: Why the voluntary carbon market is struggling, facing "significant headwinds," and the challenges of high-integrity credit development. The Funding Gap: The massive hurdle facing local developers—from small landowners to dedicated community groups—who have authentic, high-value projects but lack the institutional finance to professionalize. The Rise of NatureOS: How Matthew and his co-founder, Miguel Correia (an AI data scientist), are building tools based on machine learning and remote sensing to help projects quickly assess feasibility, reduce risk, and get closer to "bankable" status. Beyond Carbon: The emergence of new markets like Biodiversity Credits and how advanced technology can measure and monitor nature's services with a high degree of certainty, making nature one of the most valuable, yet currently unpriced, assets on the planet. Human Potential vs. AI: Matthew's unwavering optimism, even after a career seeing ecosystems struggle, and his belief that the human capacity for dedication and change will ultimately beat the challenges faced by the climate and conservation worlds. Tune in to understand how data and technology are being deployed to unlock the capital needed for genuine, on-the-ground nature restoration. Learn more about your ad choices.
